Interior Uses:
ONLY for use as a crack and crevice treatment in residential, industrial and commercial
buildings/structures, and on modes of transport. Permitted areas of use include, but are not
limited to, residential and industrial/commercial buildings, homes, apartments, hospitals,
daycares, schools, nursing homes, hotels, motels, laboratories, buses, greenhouses (noncommercial), stores, warehouses, vessels, railcars, trucks, trailers, aircraft (cargo and other
non-cabin areas only), restaurants, livestock/poultry housing, pet kennels, food granaries, food
grain mills, and food manufacturing, processing and servicing establishments.
Indoor application of the product should be performed when commercial facilities are NOT in
operation.
Page 9 of 17
DO NOT apply to furniture surfaces or mattresses where people will be laying or sitting.
DO NOT apply as any broadcast treatment to carpets (full room spray).
Crack and crevices use restrictions: Use in food services areas of schools, daycares,
hospitals, etc., is permitted only during closed down periods.
For indoor applications: DEMAND CS Insecticide can be reapplied at a minimum of a 21-day
interval if necessary, maximum 4 applications per year.
Application within food handling establishments: (places other than private residences in
which exposed food is held, processed, prepared, or served) including, but not limited to, areas
for receiving, storage, packing (canning, bottling, wrapping, boxing), preparing foods, edible
waste storage and enclosed processing systems (mills, dairies, edible oils, syrups) and serving
areas. Use as a crack and crevice treatment in and around both food and non-food areas. Apply
in small amounts directly into cracks and crevices, using equipment capable of delivering a pinstream spray, in points between different elements of construction, between equipment and
floor, openings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls, equipment and bases. Food contact
surfaces and equipment should be cleaned with an effective cleaning compound and rinsed with
potable water before using.
Take extreme care that the product is not introduced into the air. Avoid contamination of food
and food processing surfaces.
Application within food serving areas: (facilities where foods are served, such as dining
rooms): Apply as a crack and crevice treatment. Avoid treating areas likely to be contacted by
food. DO NOT apply when facility is in operation or foods are exposed. Food must be covered
or removed in area being treated. DO NOT apply directly to food or allow applications to
contaminate food.
Any treated surface that may contact food products should be washed and rinsed
thoroughly with potable water before use.
Use of application equipment such as the Actisol applicator in food areas should be limited to
crack and crevice treatment only.
Exterior Uses:
For use as an exterior perimeter (barrier) treatment around buildings and structures such as
houses, apartment buildings, laboratories, greenhouses (non-commercial), stores, warehouses,
schools, nursing homes, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, livestock/poultry housing, pet kennels,
food granaries, food grain mills, and food manufacturing, processing and servicing
establishments.
For exterior applications: DEMAND CS Insecticide can be reapplied at a minimum of a 21-day
interval if necessary, maximum 4 applications per year.
Perimeter (Barrier) Treatment: For control of ants, boxelder bugs, crickets, earwigs,
millipedes, mosquitoes, sowbugs and spiders apply a continual band of insecticide solution
around a building foundation and around windows, doors, service line entrances, eaves, vents
and other areas with potential for entry by crawling pests. To facilitate application, remove
Page 10 of 17
debris and leaf litter from next to the foundation, cut back vegetation and branches that touch
the foundation, and move or rake back rocks, deep mulch, or other potential pest harborage
next to the foundation. Apply the band up to 3.0 m wide around the structure and upwards along
the foundation to 0.9 m and around windows, doors, and roof overhangs. Apply as a coarse
spray to thoroughly and uniformly wet the foundation and/or band area so that the insecticide
will reach the soil or thatch level where pests may be active.
NOTE: DO NOT use water base sprays of DEMAND CS Insecticide in conduits, motor
housings, junction boxes, switch boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock
hazard. For best results, thoroughly wash out sprayer and screen with water and detergent
before using DEMAND CS Insecticide. DEMAND CS Insecticide has not stained or caused
damage to painted or varnished surfaces, plastics, fabrics or other surfaces where water applied
alone causes no damage.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
DEMAND CS Insecticide is intended for dilution with water for application using hand held or
power operated application equipment as a coarse spray for crack and crevice treatments.
Application equipment that delivers low volume treatments, such as the Actisol applicator, may
also be used to make crack and crevice treatments. Fill applicator tank with the desired volume
of water and add DEMAND CS Insecticide. Close and shake before use in order to ensure
proper mixing. Shake or re-agitate applicator tank before use if application is interrupted. Mix
only amount of treatment volume as required.

results, locate and treat nests within
structures. Where ants are trailing
inside, apply as a crack and crevice
treatment to active areas such as
baseboards, corners, around pipes, in
and behind cabinets, behind and under
refrigerators, sinks, furnaces and
stoves. When combining baits and
crack and crevice insecticides, apply
insecticides in cracks and crevices
along baseboards and infested
surfaces. Use baits in other areas that
are untreated by residual insecticides.

between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive freshwater habitats
(such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and
wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that DEMAND CS Insecticide contains a Group 3
insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to DEMAND CS
Insecticide and other Group 3 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
population if this group of insecticide is used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance
mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as
enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should
be followed.
To delay insecticide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of DEMAND CS Insecticide or other Group 3 insecticides with
different groups that control the same pests in a field.
Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group when such use is permitted.
Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping, and
considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in
your area.
